More D&D brainstorming in 15 minutes

I have another session coming up on Friday! I don't think my party reads my blog. If you do--STOP IT! I'm going to copy and paste my last post so I can build on it.

  • Have them head to Mt. Canoch
    • Mt. Canoch is a volcanic mountain that dominates the landscape. Its sharp crags create dramatic views. Some climb it for daring or for the beauty you can see form it, but it is a dangerous climb. Not only is it hard to climb, but it is said that many creatures live on and within the mountain and should not be disturbed.
    • On way: come home, Spike encounter
      • Help a giant child find his lost pet
      • Ultimately, they have to convince him to leave the pet alone and that she will return
      • Pet is a basilisk: A basilisk is a multilegged, reptilian horror whose deadly gaze transforms victims into porous stone. With its strong jaws, the creature consumes this stone, which returns to organic form in its gullet.
    • Find a small village besieged by some creatures
      • The Village of Canoch often does trade with Baile (DC 15 history to see if they've heard of them before) as they don't have a lot. They are mostly farmers, but there is a baker in town. The air is fresh and clean and there are spectacular views of Mt. Canoch. You can imagine that it would be hard not to live in awe of this mountain if it so dominated your skyline every day.
      • Immediately upon entering the village, a DC 10 perception will show that the town is freshly saddened and worried
      • No tavern in town, but people will gather in the center of town where there is a memorial to those lost to the firenewts (Nature DC 15 to see if they've heard of them)
      • In the center of town they'll find the town leader (the rest of the town is wary of outsiders coming to their village as why would anyone come? They're not even on most maps. So, they'll direct people to the leader): Alenia Yesbella. Alenia is an elf with dark brown skin and a shaved head. She wears beautiful obsidian jewelry that, with a DC 18 investigation will be revealed to be sharp enough to use as weapons. She is very willing to receive help but is somewhat suspicious of who would seek to help them. She complains that the crown does not care for them and would not even see her.
      • The newest captives were taken while everyone slept. The village is lucky that they only wanted a handful of sacrifices. The names of the missing elves are: Ayda Luhana, Theoden Krisrie, Folen Holaleth, Lorsan Virris, and Vianola Yesbella (Alenia's wife)
    • Must defeat the creatures and free captives
      • Creatures are firenewts: In regions that contain hot springs, volcanic activity, or similar hot and wet conditions, firenewts might be found. These humanoid amphibians live in a militaristic theocracy that reveres elemental fire in its worst incarnation.
      • The firenewts captured villagers for sacrifices to Imix, the prince god of evil fire
      • The firenewts have the villagers guarded in cages by 3 firenewt warriors
      • The firenewts cannot be reasoned with as they are zealots of Imix
      • As they flee, they are attacked by two firenewt warlocks
      • Get reward: supplies for their journey and the support of the village should they choose to make a bid for the crown
  • Town of Graig
    • Should ask around about the sleeping spell
    • Similar to Baile, but smaller
      • Similar layout, but much smaller travelling merchant section, only one tavern
    • Town was warned about the spell, but don't know what it was for
      • Rumors say that one person was awake but he's not talking
      • Have to talk to several patrons to find out where thi
    • Only one person in town was a bastard, but they didn't want to go
      • Convinced that he would be killed
      • Paranoid
      • Thinks the plague that wiped out a lot of the royal family was poisonings (they were, but this is not known)
      • Hesitant to talk to the adventurers
    • Look more into the tavern adventures I downloaded
    • Job board (have them pick then go deeper)
      • The inn is being haunted. Items are flying off shelves and moving by themselves. The party investigates... at the root. A malicious spellcaster telekinesis using a Crystal Ball 
      • A local musician plays a song every night to keep an angry beast at bay. The musician goes missing. If the townsfolk cannot find a replacement to play the soothing toon by nightfall, the entire town will be in danger.
      • The players must infiltrate an illegal dice casino run by a Goblin Mob. They will need to find a set of "magical dice" to defeat the goblin kingpin at its own game

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
